the Iron Bridge

The Iron Bridge, built in 1779 in England, is a historic structure and the world's first major cast-iron bridge. It spans the River Severn, connecting the towns of Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge. Its innovative design used pre-made iron components assembled on-site, marking a key development in engineering and the Industrial Revolution. The bridge's elegant arched design combines strength with aesthetic appeal, demonstrating how iron could be used as a durable and versatile construction material. Today, it stands as a symbol of industrial progress and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
